A review by drplantwrench
The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon

1.0

I love trying new kinds of books. I want to have a taste of all kinds of writings and authors, so much so that I feel bad for reading a second book by the same author that I know I love, because there are so many new authors that I have never read.

This book made me question that philosophy. Here's another rule that this book has broken: I have never fallen asleep in the middle of a book. To the credit of this book, it made me do it twice! I often had to go back a few pages to make sure I wasn't missing something, and no I was not. This may be a moment of "to each their own", but I certainly will not read another of his books.
